ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS:
Ben Samuels & Gaël Le Cornec, Limbik Theatre
Limbik makes new theatre and live experiences in physical and digital space. Where the epic becomes intimate. And vice versa. The company’s genre-defying work extends from visual storytelling and physical theatre, to interactive fiction and immersive audio, and celebrates ensemble, collaboration, and internationalism.
ABOUT THE LIVE NOW COMMISSION
All the Water in the World – a play on WhatsApp from Limbik Theatre
Giselle, alone in a room, listens to the sounds around her. They remind her of a home on the other side of the ocean.
She wants to share them with you. From her phone, she wants to reach out to you, a total stranger, somewhere far away.
All the Water in the World is a quirky, intimate, one-to-one performance that unfolds on WhatsApp. Using a combination of live calls, messaging, and 3D spatial audio, it’s an experience that invites you to listen and connect in a (perhaps) unusual way.
